How workflowbpm started their logo design journey

Company name

Syzygy

Overview

Syzygy is a new software startup with a current focus in business process management. Syzygy develops custom software for companies, identifying their business processes, optimizing those processes, and implementing a workflow based customer relationship management system. In less technical terms, Syzygy helps businesses capture the steps they take to do what they do, how to be more efficient at it, and make software that keeps them on track. This allows an iterative refinement and improvement in their processes and relationships with customers.

The term syzygy is:
syz⋅y⋅gy [siz-i-jee]
1. an alignment of three celestial objects

Which presents an image of order and organization in a complex system.

Tell us a bit about who you are and the people you reach

Our core target audiences are currently individuals in businesses of medium or small size. Very large corporations generally produce in-house software, our targets are companies that may not have the resources or technical knowledge to implement a solid business process management system. The individuals that will be presented our corporate image are professionals, such as executives, corporate relations workers, technology managers, marketing, sales, etc.

Requirements

We need a logo that represents our company, and a business card with the newly created logo on it.

The three 'celestial bodies' need to be aligned in a straight line on some 3d axis of any choice. The three objects of the syzygy do not need to be planets or stars, if you can imagine something very creative.

Take some artistic license in providing us a unique and interesting logo and corporate identity. Please feel free to explore ideas, and feedback will be provided.

*Notes, not required*
